Well, I moved my little chicks out to their coop today. They wandered around in the run portion for a while then I caught them all and put them in the roosting quarters(with nest boxes blocked off) and clos d them up for the night. They will spend all day tomorrow in the coop run with access to the roosting quarters if they want.

Well they survived their first night outside. I opened the door to let em into the run and they were still asleep. They all eventually moved down the ramp to the run and were pecking around when I left for work

Young chicks are fun to watch.

Right now I have one of my old girls that is a[Rhode Island White] that is on her last leg I think. She is still doing okay but has poopy butt; I have cleaned her twice but we have not gotten rid of it yet which leads me to believe she is bound up....

Keeping a close eye on her and cleaning...ya ain't lived till ya washed a shitty chicken butt!!

I really enjoy watching my new flock grow. They have started getting a pretty big comb and tail feathers.they are still really skittish around me. I guess for good reason . Next few days a couple roosters will be going to aldeer backyard chicken great beyond.

I had to put mine in a back corner of the yard because they kept eating my wifes flowers and digging out all of the mulch in the beds.

My ol' roo keeled over daid about a week and a half ago.

Let the hens out for a little while this morning, and in about 10 minutes they'd torn a 10x10 patch of clover worse than hogs could have! I'd have never thought 8 hens could tear up the ground like they did!

True! They are like mini excavators!!! Everything I have that I don't want demolished I fence.

Question, my coop has a sliding door for the sleeping quarters. This week, as the chicks go to bed, I go close the door. Should I do this or leave it open?

If no predators can get to them without the door shut, I would leave it open for air circulation. However, if something could get to them by all means shut it.

Well, shite. Had to take out an egg bound hen this afternoon and that just plain sucks. If you know anything, you know once they are well and truly egg bound there is no hope. This ole hen has been babied and had her hiney washed more that any hen wants but we just could not get things to work.

To be humane and put her on out of her misery we took her out this afternoon. Thank goodness hubby was around to do the deed and told me to go away and not watch.

Never easy to take any life but it was the humane thing to do since she could not even get on the roost any longer.

Compared to the hive burning that has gone on with Fur this is no thing but never easy.

Oh dear they can do some real damage in a short period of time.

Well, it is confirmed. I have 2(possibly 4) roosters. Anyone want any barred rock roos? If not, they will eat good

Mean game hen, but she hatched 8 out of 8 eggs, very good mama, but she will peck the blood out of you. My Boston Terrier has been her victim several times also.

I was raised up with my grandparents owning chickens. I want to purchase some but I want to know more about them before I buy any. What websites would be best to learn Alabama Law and the basics on raising them?
